Chapter 198: Liu Han, who doesn't get in with oil and salt
"Peace talks?"
"What peace talks, what peace talks?"
"Boss, why do you want to talk about peace? ”
As soon as Han Ming's words were finished, the people below exploded. No one would have imagined that at this juncture, Han Ming would take the initiative to propose peace talks, isn't it outrageous.
He probably guessed the reaction of the crowd as well, and stood on it just smiling and not speaking.
After everyone's mood stabilized, Han Ming spoke: "Peace talks, how can it be my wishes, but there is no way, I once said that military and economy and politics are inseparable." You are only concerned about fighting, how do you know the distress that Your Majesty is facing, we are fighting too far and too deep, and the logistics can no longer keep up. ”
After saying this, everyone also began to reflect, indeed, they only cared about fighting and fighting, and they really didn't pay attention to logistics.
"The previous Yokogawa floods and the Renfeng Rebellion have devastated the empire, and this conquest has been fought for too long, and the treasury has been emptied. Look at the soldiers, far from their homeland, all of them looking tired. There is no need to fight this battle again. ”
Han Ming's tone was a little helpless, if he wanted to fight, how could he not want to fight, but the reality did not allow him to do so.
Kuang Yue sent him a private message a few days ago, but the letter did not say how difficult it was for her, but just blindly encouraged Han Ming, and said that no matter what difficulties she had, she would always support him.
These words seemed to be comforting Han Ming, but it was more like comforting herself.
Later, it was still in Wencheng's letter that Han Ming knew about the predicament that Kuang Yue was facing, although he had been winning battles on the front line, but there were already ministers in the DPRK who began to express their dissatisfaction, and blamed him for some trivial things, otherwise His Majesty Kuang Yue was bent on protecting Han Ming, I am afraid that the imperial court would have exploded.
And all this made him even more determined to hold peace talks. It's true that I've been away for too long, and I forget to learn to be in awe.
After everyone heard Han Ming's words, they lost their previous excited emotions, and they were silent one by one.
"Okay, although we can't fight, but this time we are the victorious side after all, the peace talks are just for us to lower our posture, if they don't know what to do, it's a big deal to fight!" Han Ming reassured everyone.
He just felt that he shouldn't fight anymore, but that didn't mean he couldn't fight, and if Li Guo still wanted to compete with him, he didn't mind letting them make some blood.
On the other hand, when the envoys of the Chu army to the peace talks arrived in Tiandu City, the ministers of the state were all disbelieving, thinking that it might be Han Ming's conspiracy.
It wasn't until the envoy handed over the notice of peace talks written by Han Ming that the old emperor of Liguo was convinced that Chu Jun really wanted peace talks, after all, no one would use their country's reputation as a trap.
However, at this time, the thing that puzzled everyone came, the Chu army attacked the city all the way, and was invincible, how could it suddenly think about peace talks at this time? What is the reason for this?
Although he couldn't figure it out, since it was the peace talks proposed by the Chu side, what reason did Li Guo have for refusing? The old emperor immediately elected an envoy and went to the place agreed by Han Ming for the peace talks, outside the city of Pingguan.
And the candidate for the peace talks, the old emperor also chose a very interesting one, which was the category of the previous demotion because Zhou Cheng was framed.
Don't look at the category, this person seems to be useless, but he is old and refined, and as a deputy minister, the category still has a deep reputation in the court of Liguo.
Of course, although it was a peace talk, Han Ming was not idle, although the army did not move, but he was still happy to let Crazy Qi lead someone to do something, just to add some chips to the peace talks.
A few days later, the peace talks delegation of Liguo arrived at the city of Pingguan, probably because they heard that the madness had caused a miasma in Liguo, and Liguo was very concerned about this meeting.
Han Ming is a soldier, he is not good at talking about it, and he doesn't want to talk about these useless things, Wen Cheng is in Beijing again, too far away. In the end, Han Ming asked Liu Han to be the envoy of the peace talks, responsible for negotiating with the scope.
Han Ming only made one request to Liu Han, that is, to get the household registration of the people of Shangrao and the three counties, as long as he got this, everything else could be discussed.
After Liu Han received the task, he immediately began to study the details of the peace talks.
The whole peace talks lasted only three days, and it was very fast.
The reason why it is so fast is inseparable from Liu Han's strategy.
Liu Han knew that he was also half a general, and he was not an opponent in the battle with these ministers, so he simply put forward his requirements on the first day of the peace talks.
The requirement is also very simple, that is, Han Ming said that the Liguo side handed over the household registration information of the people of Shangrao and the three counties.
As soon as he came, he had insight into Chu Jun's intentions, which made the category feel amused for a while, and he couldn't help but be full of confidence in this peace talks. In his opinion, it is easy to deal with this young man in front of him who has no political scheming.
On the one hand, he said that the land of the three counties was an important land of the state and could not be divided, and on the other hand, he said that in addition to the three counties and Shangrao, the country was willing to pay a huge amount of money, as long as the Chu army promised not to cede the land. Anyway, the meaning of the category is that the land of the three counties cannot be given, but it can be exchanged for a large amount of equivalent goods or money.
made righteous and affectionate remarks about the category, but in the end he only got Liu Han's words: I want the household registration of Shangrao and the people of the three counties.
This is stupid to say that the category is not in the field. In order to express the importance of the three counties to the country, he talked for two hours, from the founding of the country to the next generations, and listed the friendship actions of the two countries in the land of the three counties, but he did not expect to end up with such a result.
In addition to being angry, the category is also a little helpless. After all, this is an unequal meeting, although he can have an advantage in words, but people can choke himself with a simple sentence, because now Li Guo is no longer able to fight.
In this way, the first day of the talks ended unhappily in helplessness and grief.
On the second day, Liu Han came up with the same sentence yesterday, and he almost didn't get angry with the category.
But he is a big man after all, and this bit of self-cultivation is still there. After sitting down, the category began to make a fuss about the land of the three counties. This time he no longer played the emotional card, but the procrastination card.
The category to Liu Han said that the land of the three counties is too vast, and it has not been governed for a long time, and the household registration of the people of the three counties is often omitted and wrong, if you want to hand over, it is not impossible, but it may take some time for the country to sort out the household registration properly, as for how long it will take, he did not say, but it is estimated that it will not be short.
Then the category listed a large number of matters that needed to be dealt with, trying to make Liu Han understand that what he said was true.
After the category crackled and said a lot, Liu Han changed his words, but this not only did not make the category happy, but became even more depressed.
I saw Liu Han say: "When will the household registration be delivered, when will the war be stopped!"
is a simple sentence, but with an unshakable determination, he is so angry that he wants to vomit blood. Finally, he angrily waved his sleeves and walked straight away from the tent.
Liu Han's oil and salt are not in the category, and Rao is clever tongue, and he is also a little lacking in mental strength at the moment. I felt like I was trying my best, but I ended up crashing into the rocks.
In the past, he thought that this kind of person was easy to deal with, but now he found that this kind of person is impossible to deal with at all.
And what makes the category even more worrying is that Crazy Qi received Han Ming's news and looted in the territory of Liguo, and he didn't rob the poor, he focused on those big families, and he made a lot of money every time.
The frenzied behavior has set off a wave of complaints in the territory of Liguo, and those families who have not yet been plundered are complaining, all accusing the court of ineffective peace talks, causing the Chu army to run rampant on the land of Liguo.
There is no way to do it, knowing that I have no hole cards. If it drags on any longer, I'm afraid this peace negotiator will have to be replaced.
On the third day, the spirit of the category was not very good, and looking at Liu Han with a cold face on the other side, the category felt as if he was a few years older.
At the beginning of the peace talks, he was no longer able to argue about anything, and only one sentence was spoken, "Liguo is willing to hand over the household registration of Shangrao and the land of the three counties, in order to form a hundred alliances with the Chu State, and there will be no more swordsmen." ”
After saying that, the scope handed over the follow-up matters to the deputy envoy, and he left the camp in poor health.
Liu Han doesn't matter, as long as someone speaks and it works.
Next, the two sides made a detailed arrangement of the details of the peace talks and the redemption of prisoners of war by Liguo.
In the First Battle of Shangjing, the First Battle of the Northern Territory and the Battle of the Three Counties, the Chu army captured many generals of the Liguo, the largest of which was the Three Princes of the Liguo, known as the Light of the Liguo Houyu.
Redeeming Houyu, the impact of this matter is greater than the cost paid to the Chu State. If you don't steal the sky in the future, and want to be the next emperor of the country, I'm afraid it will be no fun.
But after all, he is the prince, and he still has to be ransomed, six high-ranking generals, including Huang Ning, as well as eighteen middle-level generals, thirty-three low-level generals, and thirty-ten prisoners.
In this battle, at least 200,000 people were involved, but in the end, only 30,000 people remained, which was really painful.
After the peace talks, the next step is to fulfill the content of the peace talks. The state of Chu escorted the prisoners of war over, and the state sorted out the household registration of the people in Shangrao and the three counties.
And Han Ming is also arranging what will happen later.
The first thing was to let Liu Zhixian and Feng Yu lead 30,000 people to garrison Pingguan.
After that, after the three counties are dealt with, the army will be sent to rotate the garrison.
The second thing is the management of the land of the three counties, of course, the officials are directly appointed by the imperial court, but it is Yang Xu's secret army that really maintains the order of the three counties.
At this point, Han Ming was still not prepared to act on his behalf, and he could arrange it however he wanted, but the actual control of these three counties had to be held tightly in his hands.
Then there is Hu Bugui, this time Hu Bugui did not play a role, but it does not mean that Han Ming does not pay attention to him, he has been keeping an eye on Hu Bugui.
Now that Pingguan is down, Hu Bugui will be arranged to return to Longguan. After all, the Xiao Cavalry Battalion led by him was originally specially stationed in Longguan, which can be regarded as allowing him to return to his own duties.
Everything was arranged, and next, Han Ming waited for the handover between the two sides to end, and then the class returned to the court.
After waiting in Pingguan for almost ten days, Hou Yu and other high-ranking generals of the state were taken prisoner.
Looking at the languishing Hou Yu, Han Ming suddenly remembered the scene when he saw him in Shangjing, no one would have thought that it had only been so long for the identities and status of the two to change so quickly.
Thinking of this, Han Ming walked up.
